XY Screen 150 Inch PET Grid Screen Review

[@LegendaryOldwarrior]

Great video. Thank you for showing how the screen looks through most of your video. For some reason a lot of people seem to show themselves talking for the majority of the video instead of showing what the screen/projector can do. No offense to them but I don't want to look at them talking lol, I want to see what they are talking about. Anyways I really want a 150" screen for when I do get an UST, however, it seems they do not make ALR/CLR for them. So with the screen you have that has some ALR qualities, how wash out does it look with the blinds open? You can't really tell on your video. At 4:07 mark it looks ok to me. It doesn't look crazy wash out. It seems the scene on the screen on the left is a different time of day than the one on the right.

Hey, just pitching in here for the XY Screen. I purchased the 120" ALR PET Crystal in April '21 and my screen is paired with a LSP9T. I got a frame with a warped upper frame and particularly the top right corner. After talking to support, their suggestion was to try and bend it back myself... Or to move the projector further to the screen, loosing some screen realestate, but moving the image as much as possible from the warped corner... I think we can all agree that both suggestions are lackluster at best. I learned to live with it, albeit being really annoyed at it when watching full screen content. Today I went to watch a show and to my surprice, the whole screen is now wavy and it looks like the screen fabric has stretched where the springs are hooked in. We are in the start of summer here, with temps reaching 25 degrees celcius for a few days now, but nothing crazy and I don't expect us to see much higher temperatures than that, but the screen is completely useless now with distortions all over the image. With my current experience, I can't recommend XYScreens to anyone looking for a serious projector UST setup. And I'll be looking for a replaciment....

Thanks for sharing, things can happen but the lack of taking responsibility and help sort out a replacement is exactly reason to avoid a company. Pity.

Thanks for the video. I'm purchasing the VAVA Chroma and will be placing it on a 19" cabinet. I think that means the screen projection will start at 35.5" from the floor (19"+16.5 throw) and ends about 1' from my 10' ceiling. But I'm wondering about best choices for a center speaker. Rather than in the open center of my 19" cabinet, I could place it in the wall with the speaker grid under 35.5". Does that make sense, and did you come up any other good solution for your center speaker?

[@elmalloc]

why vava?

[@asch9019]

@@elmalloc Exactly, IMHO the top UST projector (JAN 2022) is none other than Fengmi T1 which is highly regarded in AVS forum.

[@datmanhan1]

So the pet grid is not as good as the pet crystal? I want 150 inches too for my wemax nova; if you contact the company directly how is price different vs AliExpress?

[@LC-pf6vu]

I recently got one of these screens. Mine has vertical ripples along the top and bottom edges of the screen. I was wondering if you had this problem and if so how you solved it. Thanks

[@s.g.techreview6629]

Yes, I did have ripples along top and bottom. I took the screen down and redid everything. Ipulled the screen material and placed the stronger springs in starting from the middle. I pulled the screen material out from the middle to the corners and angled the springs so there would be more pull. When strong springs ran out, I doubled the regular springs for more torque. Just make sure everything is evenly pulled tight as springs are secured. All my waves were gone after that.

[@LC-pf6vu]

Thanks for the reply

[@qthn1452]

Where can i get a stand just like you, my upstair gameroom is is only 5,8 ft the ceiling is curves at the top so i can only mount an 100 inch screen and i need that low stand to put the projector on. Thanks

[@ricky3506]

Brother your content helps out so much. I’m building a house and have 10ft ceilings with a living room of 17 by 24ft wide and this 150 inch screen would look amazing. So I ft stand and 17+ inches away from the wall right? Thanks bro. Do you know the specs in feet for that screen ?

[@s.g.techreview6629]

[@jenniferbrantley2419]

I bought this screen. We have try so many times to get it wrinkle free. At bottom or top there is a little bit of wrinkles. How did you get yours wrinkle free

[@youarehere0]

he replied to a similar comment. basically he replaced higher tension or thicker springs at different parts of the screen. check out a few comments above yours. peasky weasky.

[@frylobster2012]

What is your ceiling height for your room? What is the distance needed between the vava 4k projector and the bottom of the screen ? I have 8 feet ceiling height and would love to have 150" screen, not sure if it is doable!

[@s.g.techreview6629]

My ceiling is 10 ft high. You may be able to project with 8 ft ceiling, but your projector would be on the floor.

[@crosswire]

This is great S.G - how far is your couch there to the screen roughly. Much thanks!

[@s.g.techreview6629]

Thank you! Seating is 10 feet to the screen.

[@Thebossross2012]

I'm gonna be using the Optoma uhd50x projector what is your take on that projector? Plz lmk thank u

[@s.g.techreview6629]

I haven't personally tested the Optima UHD50x to make an honest recommendation either way, but I have seen a lot of mixed reviews on it. Looks like some love it and some don't. I like the specs on the input lag for gaming though.

[@gkl68]

Will the PET grid work if you ceiling mount that VAVA?

[@s.g.techreview6629]

Technically you can, but there are things to consider for this. Here is some information on ceiling mounting ust projectors that I found helpful: www.avsforum.com/threads/ultra-short-throw-ust-ceiling-mount-with-alr.3078452/

[@gkl68]

@@s.g.techreview6629 I had actually read that thread already and thought that applied to the ALR with the horizontal lines. Since yours is a grid texture will it make it better suited for ceiling mount UST?

[@s.g.techreview6629]

@@gkl68 I do believe that the grid surface would be more ideal for ceiling mount since it is the same upside down.

hi, was it expensive to ship ?

[@s.g.techreview6629]

If I remember correctly, the shipping cost somewhere between one to two hundred. I purchased mine a while ago, so shipping prices have probably changed from the time I purchased.

The pet grid performs better in lower lights compared to pet crystal.

[@SFBenjaminK]

most of the times u show it in dark room any screen looks the BEST in dark room , i wanna use this in living some type of day light , wanna use it as living room TV , wanna see hows this screen gets washed out in day time

[@s.g.techreview6629]

I did do a side by side comparison in this video. The image will in fact look washed out in brightly lit rooms or daylight viewing as mentioned in this video. This screen has some ALR qualities, but isn't best for daytime viewing as indicated. You need a full ALR screen if that is what you are looking for. Those aren't currently available in 150 inches, or I would have bought one.

@@syjojoseph6559 if you are looking for the biggest size screen, you wont regret. Colors and black levels look amazing on screen, but it will also depend on your projector. It comes down to what you want more, to watch with bright lights on or get the biggest screen size and watch with low light or no lights on. Colors and image will mostly depend on your projector at that point.

[@GhostingBit]

I’ve got the PET Grid and I’m not very happy with it. I got it only because others go to 120” max, but I’m actually looking for an alternative now. We bought two PET Grids, one for me and one for my friend, both had some quirks. My friends had a defect, luckily it’s not visible when viewing something, but the material wombs have some burned defect. And mine didn’t have holes for the springs on one side(!), I had to measure the distances from the opposite side and then use a hole punch tool to make the holes, they just forgot. Support said “sorry, will tell to the techs to be more careful in the future.”. Overall, the screen is not bad, but I better pay more for something better.

[@RezRetroBuilder]

Vividstorm is even better then this brand. Although they only go to 120 inches, but their screens are better with hardly any defects.
